Oct. 1 — Possession of a controlled substance and driving on suspended license on East 13th Street.

While waiting for a second officer, the driver’s mother arrived and police informed her that her son was driving on a suspended license and she responded that he was not supposed to be driving. Police asked the driver if there was anything illegal in the vehicle and the driver retrieved a container of potpourri labeled “Blackout.”

Police asked the driver what he had planned on doing with the potpourri and he said he planned on rolling it and smoking it. He admitted that he bought the potpourri at the Gothic Gateway in Russsellville.
